    School, built Monday, November 09, 2009 |

    Pass by this school almost everyday, cuz AMK Ave 1 leads to my house... Really wanted to visit it cuz the exterior looks pretty well designed. Later I realized it was done by a famous local architecture firm, and was kinda glad we arranged for a visit. It got even better when the architect himself brought us around the school. We also met with the school principal and students that day. It was a delightful and inspiring visit. I'm officially a fan >.<











    Characters with aura, these two...


    Before the visit, I've already thought of lining up fluoresent tubes in my new home, to match the path of the stainless steel dividers embedded in the cement sand screed flooring for my living / dining area. Then, the introduction of a ceiling allowed me to blatantly copy the recess fluoresent tube detail as seen above. Nice... I hope it turns out well in smaller scale too.

    School, yet to be built Friday, November 06, 2009 |

    Honestly, I am quite happy to be given a chance to be involved in this high-rise school. Composed of 5 volumes, the school clings on to a sloping site. Currently about to finish detailed design... The office commissioned a professional to construct the physical model, which turned out to be great representation of the design, imo.







    MAF 2009 Monday, November 02, 2009 |

    Woah... It's been awhile since the last updates, so here I am back-dating my posts as though I have been constantly blogging. Anyhowz, we celebrated MAF on 3 Oct 2009 with my niece and nephew. It was the night they were taught that fun stuff like sparkles and lanterns exist. Rong was a bit intimidated by the sparkles at first, but later decides to hold one himself, very very cautiously >.<

    Mrs Kho had a good time too!

    Grandma and grandson.

    Father and son.



    En-en wants to play too... maybe next year...
